1. You have a notebook for everything

One for a daily journal, one for dream records, one for writing prompts, one for recipes… Notebooks provide endless opportunities. A good notebook addict knows that they are not just good for daily record keeping; they can be used for anything.

2. You have more than a dozen unused notebooks…

You are not just a notebook lover, you are a notebook hoarder. You make sure that there is always a well-kept stock of notebooks in your hoard. It would be a shame to run out, especially if the apocalypse comes earlier than expected.

3. Yet you still buy more

There is probably someone in your life who tells you that you have enough notebooks, yet there you are, rummaging through the stationary aisle for more notebooks. You wouldn’t want to run out of stock.

4. Buying a new notebook is a timely process

You can't just buy any notebook, after all. There are very important things to consider. Paper quality, back pockets, cover design, hard-covered or paperback. You must take your time. A new notebook is a commitment.

5. You are equally charmed by both beautifully decorated notebooks and elegantly plain notebooks

Any good notebook addict knows that it’s not about what’s on the outside, it’s all about what’s on the inside. There is something lovely about those decorated one’s, as well as the most ordinary ones. There is a notebook for everything, so every notebook has its place.

6. The inside is important

The outside is nice, but everybody likes nice pages. There are so many kinds. Thick, light, lined, dotted lined, some with headers, and some with pockets. Everyone knows that different pages make different notebooks.

7. Spirals and compositions are a serious matter

Some think that they are just for school. Some think that they are a part of a classic style. Some people like them, some people don’t. There’s a chance that you have a strong opinion about them. Because a notebook becomes a part of the writer, it doesn’t matter what your notebook looks like. What works for you works for you.

8. You can’t just use any notebook

You may see the value and purpose of all notebooks, but that doesn’t mean that you’ll just use any. There are preferences and standards. All notebooks have their place, but they must be in the right place.

9. There’s a chance that you never leave the house without that one notebook

Have you ever left your home without something to take notes in? Yeah, me neither. Most people just use their phones for quick ideas, but some of use take our writing and stationary obsession too seriously for that. It’s a quirk to people who do not take notebooks as seriously, but to fellow enthusiasts, it is symbol of dedication.

10. It is a bittersweet moment when you finish a notebook

The end of a notebook is the end of a period of time. You get so used to writing in it and holding it that you are sad that its time is over. You are even apprehensive about starting a new one. What if the new one doesn’t live up to expectations? You know that a new notebook is a new beginning, so there’s always the excitement of a new notebook. A notebook is a journey, and a new notebook is a new adventure.

Keep being a notebook addict and write on.
